Lyrics

[Intro]
Everyone out there ready?
It goes a-one, two, three, and
[Verse 1]
Perfection to D is quite essential
He has to live up to his potential
I work real hard all day and night
I get to it and do it 'cause I want it right
I got bass
Tone
I use
Cologne
And then I rock
The funky
Rhyme
On the microphone
I got a funky fresh
Car
With the funky fresh
Bar
I'm a funky fresh
Star
And I'm up
To par
My name is D.M.
C.
Down with Run and
Jay
Is everything copacetic, y'all?
Kind of a-okay
[Chorus]
Perfection
Yo, yo, yo, what we talkin' 'bout, what we talkin' 'bout?
Perfection
Most definitely
[Verse 2]
I got prescription glasses and my eyes are correct
Two times every year, I go to have them checked
Perfection's my selection, and I will select
And if it's not
Perfect
I will perfect
[Chorus]
Perfection
What we got?
Perfection
Who me? I— come on
[Verse 3]
I got a credit
Card
Made out of
Gold
I get
Cash
In a
Flash
And the story's told
I got D.M.
C.
I got JM
J
I got Jeff
He's def
And Runny-Ray
I got a dog
A cat
A mouse
A rat
A fly
He won't die
And a little gnat
My name is DJ
Run
And he's Darryl
Mack
Run-D.M.C.
Right and exact
[Chorus]
Perfection
Uh
Perfection
C'mon, let's get 'em, tell 'em, D
Do it, do it now
[Verse 4]
I won't fail, I won't flop
Stall or stutter, yes, I won't stop
It takes hard work to be like this
You should know
'Cause I'm a perfectionist
[Chorus]
Perfection
Perfection
Perfection
Yo, DJ Run, what is it?
Perfection
Perfectly speaking
Perfection
Perfection
P-P-P-P
Perfection
P-P-Perfect
Perfection
Perfectly speaking
Perfection
P-P-P-P
One hundred percent
Perfection
Roll, roll, roll, c'mon, c'mon c'mon
Perfection
Word, there it is
Can we hear it?
